But still you can do the bind async, and just close the fd on the client side on timeout.

If you are waiting on a timeout, you're not truely async. Truely async implies never blocking, including not blocking for a time.

I don't see why connect() timeout can't be handled the same way. (ignoring the problem that there is no API call AFAICT to just drop the connection)

My comments were for truely async. -- Kurt
